    VF-Supercharger finished and installed.

    Here is a recently completed installation. The supercharger inlet, and plenum are billeted from blocks of 6061-T6. Billet production allows us to produce consistent and optically appealing pieces.

    Options include a (1) satin black supercharger and (2) black anodized aluminum for a stealth appearance. Carbon fiber not included.

    Maybe I'm missing it, but looks like a standard install to me.

    The most rearward part appears to be a heatshield. The shield would have to be painted if you didn't want it silver. I'm pretty sure the R8 comes with forged Alum. pistons. Right? I always thought that if you added boost , you raised the compression. VERY high compression can be had with all alum. engines like ours. I am pretty sure these VF enthusiasts will be informing us to the MAX. Bodhii is probably in need of a rest. He sure has been busy-Helping US .

    Now in black. Wish we could see the whole SC in this black, but it does look good.

    We have two cars here with the black components installed on them and another customer about to pull the trigger on a silver set. If you are in SoCal, stop by and have a look!

    You should be able to have any color you want, for a price. Personally I like Anodized color /finishes on aluminium !

    Have you decided whether you'll be supercharging yours or anything (like nitrous ) yet Harrison? If you do I guess you'll opt for a Jet Blue one?
